Lack of sources for any information

[edit]

"For two months, High Voltage repeatedly looped two different, 40-second announcements with no background music touting Opie and Anthony's return. At midnight ET on 2004-10-01, the loop was interrupted to air "Opie and Anthony: Ungagged". The original channel name High Voltage was decided by one of XM's lawyers, despite them telling Opie and Anthony they had time to think of a name. The decision was made without consulting Opie or Anthony when XM decided to put out a press release that afternoon. Opie and Anthony premiered on 2004-10-04 where their show ran from 6-10 AM ET, with replays throughout the day, and blocks of music at night which usually consisted of an active rock playlist. Due to technical restrictions on XM's master computer in Washington, D.C., no previously recorded show on XM is able to run past 12 AM ET. This was the main reason why High Voltage had to have "variety hours" and Worst of O&As airing at night time, due to the replays either ending at 10 PM or 11 PM ET. Up until early Spring 2005, the channel would run stand-up comedy bits during the commercial breaks. In the show's early days on XM, most of these bits were from George Carlin. Carlin's spots were so frequent it caused listener complaints. In March 2005, they moved their start and end time back an hour, beginning to air from 7-11 AM ET each weekday. This was done to encourage more west coast participation. End of premium channel[edit] Originally launched as a premium subscription channel, XM abandoned the premium charge in April 2005, making High Voltage a standard part of the XM platform. High Voltage became available to all XM subscribers, as did XM Radio Online. In exchange, XM increased the monthly rates of its subscribers. However, they offered a pre-payment plan beforehand that allowed subscribers to pay the same rate for a long-term period."

- There are zero sources for any of this, a link to to the episode would be good or some other source but otherwise I can't reliably use this information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.219.57 (talk) 23:40, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

== Jim Norton and Sam Roberts Show ==

Ok, techically October 30, 2021 was Jim and Sam's last show as their contract extension with SiriusXM expired after the show ended and there has been no word from either Norton, Roberts or SiriusXM about a new contract, so how long should I or other Wikipedians wait before changing the information either with the new contract information when it becomes available or changing Jim and Sam's show to the past-tense. Some clarification would be appreciated. YborCityJohn (talk) 04:21, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of information

[edit]

This article tells me nothing other than that this is a satellite radio channel. I have no further understanding on what they purpose or content of the channel actually is 2607:FEA8:4D20:D400:4954:49F0:BD83:E9F9 (talk) 07:35, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
